Abstract: Abstract Four optimal control problems of reservoir release are investigated. The first problem is to minimize the peak release in order to prevent flood and to reduce the flood height. The second problem is to maximize the lowest release in order to ensure irrigation, water supply, shipping and environment downstream. The third problem is to minimize the flooding duration in order to reduce damage to goods, possessions, plants, levees, etc. It is shown that these three problems may possess infinitely many different optimal solutions, but they all have a common optimal solution, which is the unique optimal solution of the fourth problem. Since this unique optimal solution depends continuously on the input data, the fourth problem is well-posed and it can be considered as a common regularization of the three ill-posed problems.
